哈贝马斯认为,公共领域的衰落是由于权力和金钱对公共领域的侵袭造成的,公共领域的衰弱,进而使大众传媒成为权力与商业侵蚀的对象,结果是大众文化被殖民化了。哈贝马斯对公共领域的研究突破了传统法兰克福学派局限于意识哲学范围的研究。 Habermas believes that the decline of the public sphere was caused by the invasion of power and money in the public domain, the weakness of the public sphere, and the mass media as the object of power and business erosion. As a result, mass culture was colonized. Habermas’s study of the public sphere has broken the confines of the traditional Frankfurt school beyond the scope of the philosophy of consciousness.
